Role of the lactoferrin-binding protein in pathogenesis of streptococcus uberis
… surface protein capable of binding lactoferrin (Lbp), originally identified as an M-like streptococcal protein. We hypothesized that Lbp may play a role as a virulence factor. Structural similarity and amino acid sequence homology of Lbp to Mrelated proteins of Group A streptococci suggested a …

The Effect of Limb Movement on the Lumbopelvic Region in People with Low Back Pain
Low back pain: LBP) affects up to 80% of the population at some point in their lifetime. Several models have been proposed to explain the persistent and recurrent course of LBP. In particular, the Movement System Impairment model proposes that lumbopelvic motion that begins soon after the start of …
